Core Overview
The robust ABS body weighing 206 grams houses five distinct operating modes (High, Medium, Low, Strobe, SOS) and an integrated infrared sensor that enables touch-free ON/OFF switching. IP43 weather resistance, 1-meter drop protection, and a substantial 5.5-hour runtime on a single charge make this headlamp a dependable choice for site supervisors, search teams, night fishing, and extended outdoor expeditions. Type-C recharging completes in approximately 4.5 hours.

Key Product Advantages
- 450-Meter Maximum Beam Reach from a Compact Headlamp
The HL98 achieves a remarkably long 450-meter beam throw for a headlamp design, enabled by high-efficiency optics paired with a dedicated LED platform. This exceptional reach allows users to identify objects, terrain features, and hazards at nearly half a kilometer — performance typically associated with larger handheld searchlights rather than head-worn units.
- Smart Gesture Sensor for Hands-Free Operation
An integrated infrared sensor module responds to hand-wave gestures, enabling ON/OFF control without physical button contact. In sensor mode, the HL98 can be operated entirely without touching the unit — wave to activate, cycle through modes via the button. This is invaluable when wearing thick gloves, handling messy materials, or working in situations where the headlamp must remain mounted and undisturbed.
- Five-Mode Operation with Adjustable Brightness
The HL98 provides a complete lighting toolkit: High (400LM / 450m) for maximum long-range visibility, Medium for balanced output and runtime, Low for extended duration and close work, Strobe for tactical disorientation or attention signaling, and SOS for emergency distress situations. Each mode is selected sequentially via a single button for intuitive control.
- Dual-Cell 2400mAh Built-In Battery with 5.5-Hour Runtime
Two integrated 1200mAh cells provide 2400mAh total capacity, delivering approximately 5.5 hours of continuous operation. The sealed internal battery design eliminates loose battery doors, prevents incorrect cell installation, and maintains a clean exterior profile. A full charge via Type-C takes approximately 4.5 hours.
- Ergonomic 206-Gram Design with 90-Degree Tilt
Despite its high-capacity battery and long-range optics, the HL98 weighs a manageable 206 grams. The head unit tilts through a 90-degree arc, allowing users to direct the beam precisely where needed regardless of head position or body orientation. The padded headband distributes weight evenly for comfortable extended wear.

常见问题解答
How is a 450-meter beam achieved with only 400 lumens?
The HL98 uses a carefully designed reflector and lens system that concentrates the 400 lumens into a tight, collimated beam rather than dispersing the light in a wide flood. This means the beam is narrower than high-lumen flood headlamps but significantly more intense at distance, achieving the long-range specification through optical efficiency rather than raw power.
Can the gesture sensor be disabled?
Yes, the sensor mode is activated by a long press on the power button from any operating mode. Press and hold again to disable the sensor and return to normal button-controlled operation. When the sensor is disabled, the HL98 functions as a standard button-operated headlamp.
Is the 5.5-hour runtime achievable at full brightness?
The 5.5-hour runtime specification is measured under standard testing conditions. Runtime varies by operating mode: High mode consumes the most power and may achieve 3-4 hours, Medium mode 5.5-6 hours, and Low mode 8+ hours. For applications requiring maximum endurance, use the lower output modes.
What type of charging cable is included?
The HL98 package includes a standard Type-C USB charging cable. The headlamp can be charged from any 5V USB power source including wall adapters, power banks, laptop USB ports, and car chargers. A dedicated charger is not required.
Does the HL98 have a low battery warning?
The HL98 features a charging indicator (blue LEDs blink during charging, solid blue when full) but does not have a real-time battery level display during operation. We recommend charging the unit fully before extended use and carrying a power bank for field recharging if continuous operation beyond 5.5 hours is required.
